Volunteering

Volunteers are the heart and soul of any community based organization and the WECAN Food Basket Society’s volunteers are no exception! Each depot has a group of dedicated volunteers that sort the bulk groceries into orders.

We are always looking for:

Depot Coordinator Volunteers

Each Depot has an coordinator responsible for collecting food orders from members and sending it to our main office, organizing their depot volunteers and sorting the order on delivery day.

Volunteer Drivers

Pick up the depot food orders from TGP (The Grocery People Market Warehouse) 14505 Yellowhead Trail once a month. All drivers need a vehicle that will accommodate the order and proof of license and insurance.

Depot Volunteers

Help weigh and sort food into orders and may assist the coordinators with phoning members prior to depot day.

Warehouse Volunteers

Arrive early morning and are physically fit and ensure that all items ordered are on hand and assist with loading depot orders onto volunteer driver’s vehicle.

Members for the Board of Directors

Volunteers with experience in working with non profit groups, volunteer boards, or who have a background in finance, social work, health or education are invited or health or education are invited to participate in board or committee positions.

Would you like to help make a difference and do you have a couple hours a month to spare? Are you an early riser and physically fit, then we could use your assistance at the warehouse as a helper, or we have depots that you could use your assistance in unloading the drivers vehicle and help sort the case lots into individual orders.

If you would like to assist us with a couple hours a month, please click on the Volunteer Application, complete the application and either fax it back to us at 780-413-4525 or email it to: info@wecanfood.com.
